Of The Blogger’s Creed

….After some reflection and introspection on my journey here’s my blogger’s creed…

I am a storyteller
When I write,
It’s not my hand that writes,
It’s my father’s hand.
And my grandfather’s
and his father’s,
and his father’s father before him.
I do not write with my hand,
He who writes with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I write from my memories,
I do not write with my mind,
He who writes with his mind has forgotten the face of his father.
I write with my soul and with my heart.

Inspired by The Gunslinger’s Creed from Stephen King’s The Dark Tower.

    Nice one! How are you liking Anchor?

    1. Beaton avatar

      The only fly in the ointment is how the dem blocks wont let me embed the anchor player otherwise I would be adding audio streams to more of my posts

      1. Sam "Goldie" Kirk avatar

        Did you try this: “The easiest way to do this is with the Podcast Player block. You can copy and paste the share/embed URL from your Anchor podcast and it will embed similar to the podcast episode I embedded above from TheDesignAir. For more information on using the block, check this out: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/podcast-player-block/

      2. Beaton avatar

        The challenge with this is for some reason for Anchor the Player Block wont allow a specific audio embed but instead shows a playlist of all the audio from Anchor instead of just that one specific I want and over time it gets a bit messy… for example check how this post has aged https://becomingthemuse.net/2020/06/15/of-tsumo-shona-proverbs/

    This is so lovely; and a terrific reminder that we are not just ourselves, each of us is a coalition of those who have come before.

    Well, I certainly write from my hand, no idea what my father looks like, and I’m nothing like my mother either

    1. Beaton avatar

      Oh you write from the heart, (I think) 🤩 write anyway.
